where r {\displaystyle r} is the shear in the radial (outward from the cylinder) direction, and t {\displaystyle t} is the shear in the tangential (around the cylinder) direction. It is the tangential force which spins the motor.

This was adopted by Oculus and was used in all their future headsets. In early 2014, Valve showed off their SteamSight prototype, the precursor to both consumer headsets released in 2016. It shared major features with the consumer headsets including separate 1K displays per eye, low persistence, positional tracking ove... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_environments |
For example, the subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou is further distinguished by a number of ecotypes, including boreal woodland caribou, mountain woodland caribou, and migratory woodland caribou (such as the migratory George River Caribou Herd in the Ungava region of Quebec).

In 1893, the American Railway Union (ARU) was formed in the United States, by Eugene Debs and other railway union leaders, as an industrial union in response to the perceived limitations of craft unions. Debs himself gave an example of the inadequacies that his fellows at the time felt towards organising by craft. He r... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_unionism |
Current crowding (also current crowding effect, or CCE) is a nonuniform distribution of current density through a conductor or semiconductor, especially in the vicinity of electrical contacts and over PN junctions. Current crowding is one of the factors limiting the efficiency of light-emitting diodes. Materials with l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_crowding |
In image processing decorrelation techniques can be used to enhance or stretch, colour differences found in each pixel of an image. This is generally termed as 'decorrelation stretching'. The concept of decorrelation can be applied in many other fields. In neuroscience, decorrelation is used in the analysis of the neur... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorrelation |
